1)ensure systimer is enabled before clear and disable interrupt, which only
for systimer in Mediatek Socs.

2)clear any pending timer-irq when shutdown to keep suspend flow clean,
when use systimer as tick-broadcast timer

Remove the above.

Add a Fixes tag.

	SYST_CON_EN is set below, why do you have to do it before?

Is that a hw bug ?

It is confusing what the description of the SYST_CON_EN says:

/*
 * SYST_CON_EN: Clock enable. Shall be set to
 *   - Start timer countdown.
 *   - Allow timeout ticks being updated.
 *   - Allow changing interrupt functions.

What means "interrupt functions" ?

Does writing writel(SYST_CON_EN, SYST_CON_REG(to)) before
SYST_CON_IRQ_CLR allows to clear the interrupt flag?

Can you explain how the timer works regarding this part?

It sounds to me a bit strange.

 *
 * SYST_CON_IRQ_EN: Set to allow interrupt.
 *
 * SYST_CON_IRQ_CLR: Set to clear interrupt.
